I have another dozen of the heavy hog cane arrows in the making since I like the first ones so good.  Got the nock ends plugged, and have one more straightening to do and will start putting the self nocks in and fletching.

Poggins tell your mom to keep trucking and screw that stuff, dont let that shitt slow her down. My wife HAD it, my sister has it and my uncle and grandma lost their life to it. Its personal with me!

Pearl , this is the second round she has had with it . She was over twenty years canser free , different type this time.
She still has about three weeks of raidiation and one more chemo left. The doctors says mom looks good .
At least spring is here and it will get warm enough for her to get outside more often.
Mom has lost three sisters and one brother and two nieces to canser, so you might say it's personal with us too.

Just finished rubbing beeswax into some arrow shafts.  My hands are cramped from rubbing vigorously to get the friction heat up but I like how it's looking!

I'm definitely gonna use it on a bow!

Detention Duty @ the high school I work at.  I'm doing it right now.  >:D

I also used the big 80 grit belt sander in the hs welding lab this morning, at lunch and again for a minute after school before detention to sand down an osage pommel for a knife I'm putting a handle on for the Dad of one of my kids friends.  When it's done, I'll post pics on this page.

Have a gooder, dpgratz

Made it through the first day of OJAM today, thirty some bows started and a lot of those by beginners , one shooting already and one blowup. Tomarrow there should be several more new bows being shot as well as more bows being built. Hope we have enough wood available for Saturday , if the weather holds out we could see a lot more people show up .

I know the feeling, on my first knee replacement they didn't get a vein till the 9th try

It was worse a few days after her surgery , they tried for over three hours and even took twice to get a pik line in .

Day two at OJAM and I'm getting wore out , all I see when I close my eyes are bows bending on the tillering tree . It will probably get busier tomarrow , still feels good to help people learn how to build bows., we worked a few kids bows today also.

Poggins:  Sending prayers/good vibes/whatever you need your way.  Sounds like those techs need to practice more on some chicken veins.
